Your protons are correct but it’s 28 neutrons not 27!
To balance a chemical equation, you want the same amount of elements to equal the same on both sides.
Step1. Write equation out
[CH4 + Cl2 ---> CCl4 + HCl]
C:1; H:4; Cl:2 C:1; H:1; CL:5 /// Cl = 5 since 4Cl + 1Cl
The Carbon element is balanced, but Hydrogen isn't.
So to balance it we will add a coefficient behind HCl, so now
[CH4 + Cl2 ------> CCl4 + 4HCL]
C:1; H:4; Cl:2 C:1; H:4; CL:8 ///// Carbon and hydrogen are balanced, but now Chlorine is not. Now we balance that element by addind a coefficiant behind CL2////
[CH4 + 4Cl2 -----> CCl4 + 4HCl]
C:1; H:4; Cl:8 C:1; H:4; CL:8 ///// So now that we added a 4*Cl2, it equals to Cl:8. So now what most people want to see is if every element is at its lowest balance, so we see if we can any coefficient lower. Just like simplifying if possible.
Biotic factors are things in an ecosystem that are alive: plants, animals, humans, etc.
Abiotic factors are things in an ecosystem that are not alive: rocks, air, temperature, humidity, etc.
<u>Ans: Mass of NaNO3 = 574 g</u>
<u>Given:</u>
Volume of NaNO3, V = 4.50 L
Molarity of NaNO3, M = 1.50 M i.e. 1.50 moles/L
Molar mass of NaNO3 = 85.00 g/mol
<u>To determine:</u>
The mass of NaNO3
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molarity of a solution can be expressed as the number of moles of the solute in a liter volume of solution
Molarity of NaNO3 = moles of NaNO3/volume of solution in L
1.50 moles/L = moles/4.50 L
moles NaNO3 = 1.50 *4.50 = 6.75 moles
Now, moles of NaNO3 = mass of NaNO3/molar mass NaNO3
mass of NaNO3 = moles * molar mass =
= 6.75 moles * 85.00 g/mole
= 573.75 g = 574 g
